Effect of orally administered sunset yellow or carmoisine on total protein, albumin and globulin levels. A. Total protein (g/dL), B. Albumin (g/dL), C. Globulin (g/dL) and D. Albumin/Globulin ratio. Values are mean ± SEM of 10 animals per experimental group. Means with distinct superscripts were statistically significantly at P < 0.05. 

Effect of orally administered sunset yellow or carmoisine on liver enzymes. A. ALT (U/L), B. ALP (U/L) and C. AST (U/L). Values are mean ± SEM of 10 animals per experimental group. Means with distinct superscripts were statistically significantly at P < 0.05. 

Effect of orally administered sunset yellow or carmoisine on hepatic antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation. A. SOD (U/mg), B. CAT (ng/mg), C. GSH (ng/mg), D. GPx (ng/mg) and E. MDA (nmol/mg). Values are mean ± SEM of 10 animals per experimental group. Means with distinct superscripts were statistically significantly at P < 0.05. 

Effect of orally administered sunset yellow or carmoisine on the hepatic transcriptional levels of apoptotic genes. A. Bax, B. Bcl2, C. Fas, D. FasL and E. Caspase-3. Values presented are mean ± SEM. Means with distinct superscripts were statistically significantly at P < 0.05.
